An outstanding integration of what we know now about body image and eating disorders. The treatment of disordered eating and body image is a new endeavor, and Gina Macdonald is among a small group of pioneers paving the path away from our culturally prescribed body wars toward body peace. MYOB asks and answers 20 key questions informed by Macdonald's unique expertise in expressive arts, dance, and yoga, as well as the most up-to-date theories and research. MYOB then provides 20 experiential exercises designed to heal body image distress, concluding with five ways to practice mindful body image and lift the body image blues. MYOB will be useful for anyone navigating the toxic body-shaming messages of contemporary culture. This book is a treasure chest of insights and healing messages for clinicians and anyone who struggles with body wars. - Margo Maine, PhD, FAED, CEDS, Psychologist, Eating Disorders Specialist, Author
